    The mint requires that the dealers who buy there uncirculated silver eagles, not the proofs or the ones now with satin finishes, to buy so much at a time and so much per year. They are basically bullion dealers. Your local coin dealer may know of one, or may not, for they do not buy that many and may get them from even someone else. The reason the value of the silver eagles are so much more than the silver in them is there are too many middlemen. You can try the mint they may give you a name or all of them, there is no secret but most people don't care, for they can not afford a case of eagles.

    Hells no. Metals are a terrible investment. in case you opt for for some silver eagles simply by fact they are cool to look at then wonderful. Get 'em. Metals are exceptionally speculative. fees are intense spectacular now too. very very nearly the different investment outperforms metals over the years. I heard one guy on the radio say that an oz.. of gold offered in 1920 for 20 money could be nicely worth over six hundred as we communicate on an identical time as the 20 dollar bill could nonetheless in basic terms be nicely worth 20. authentic, assuming you saved it on your wallet for 87 years. an identical 20 invested in shares could be nicely worth 80 grand. Like I stated, purchase 'em in case you like 'em. positioned money into something else.
